The fear and hesitation that surrounded investment in overseas real estate till the recent past seem to be evaporating with sufficient confidence building measures by the world’s major property markets. Governments are becoming more accommodating towards international property investors and are making property ownership possible for them. Even the countries with the strictest property laws are having second thoughts and seem prepared to let the foreign investment pour in. Many of the world’s leading real estate markets have even launched mega projects dedicated for investment from overseas buyers.
Not very long ago, any type of real estate transaction be it buying, selling or renting, was a tedious and tiring task involving physical presence and lot of paper work. Thanks to today’s technology, most part of the labour involved in property ownership process has been removed. International property buyers can now search for their desired property through internet and even pay a virtual visit to the property right from the comfort of their home. There are hundreds of real estate websites available on the internet whose property listings are regularly updated. All the buyer needs to do is simply browse the relevant property listings and the right property is just a few clicks away.
Overseas Investment property gives the owner a double edged opportunity for profit making. After buying the property remotely, the owner can rent it out and enjoy handsome regular income while staying home. On the other hand, the value of property also keeps rising at the same time and its resale after a short holding period can bring very attractive profits to the owner. And more interestingly, a residential property can serve a great second home away from home for the investor. Overseas property investors are well aware of these lucrative benefits of investing in international real estate and for them; high rental yields and rapid capital appreciation are two of the most attractive features of this type of investment.
UAE, especially Dubai, ranks first among the most favorite global investment locations. Other major property investment hubs of the world include Brazil, Dominican Republic, Egypt, India, Italy, Morocco, Panama and Turkey. Property investment, whether it is residential or commercial, in any of the said locations can bring the investor multiple income-generating opportunities which are way better than any other investment. Even an old and shabby property purchased at low price can be resold at amazing rates after a bit of refurbishing.
